Fully updated and revised, this new edition of a highly successful
text provides students, clinicians, and academics with a thorough
introduction to aging and mental health. The third edition of Aging
and Mental Health is filled with new updates and features,
including the impact of the DSM-5 on diagnosis and treatment of
older adults. Like its predecessors, it uses case examples to
introduce readers to the field of aging and mental health. It also
provides both a synopsis of basic gerontology needed for clinical
work with older adults and an analysis of several facets of aging
well. Introductory chapters are followed by a series of chapters
that describe the major theoretical models used to understand
mental health and mental disorders among older adults. Following
entries are devoted to the major forms of mental disorders in later
life, with a focus on diagnosis, assessment, and treatment issues.
Finally, the book focuses on the settings and contexts of
professional mental health practice and on emerging policy issues
that affect research and practice. This combination of theory and
practice helps readers conceptualize mental health problems in
later life and negotiate the complex decisions involved with the
assessment and treatment of those problems. Features new material
on important topics including positive mental health, hoarding
disorder, chronic pain, housing, caregiving, and ethical and legal
concerns Substantially revised and updated throughout, including
reference to the DSM-5 Offers chapter-end recommendations of
websites for further information Includes discussion questions and
critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter Aging and
Mental Health, Third Edition is an ideal text for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, for service
providers in psychology, psychiatry, social work, and counseling,
and for clinicians who are experienced mental health service
providers but who have not had much experience working specifically
with older adults and their families.
